Yes, it is correct. Under the hyphenation point of view the patterns 
that deal the common grapheme for the phonemes u and v (actually that 
grapheme indicated also the phoneme ü according to Quintilianus) in 
modern and medieval are accomodated in the same pattern file without 
interference with one another. the babel-latin.ldf and gloss-latin.ldf 
manage the three orthographies at least ofor what concern the infix 
words and upper- and lower-casing; these files manage also the choice 
between the (prelaoded) hyphenation patterns.
